I am currently in the Philarmonic in Liverpool on 4th July 2024 . Alexei paid for his beer in coins, slightly more expensive these days £6.50 for a pint of Paulaner German beer.
Alexei has been consistently funny from the start of his career. He has not needed to update or modify his style, delivery or character at all, because it was perfect from the start. He was my favourite comedian in 1982 and he still is.
I've not seen this classic comic roots for forty years so itz great to be able to see it again. I remember I watched it with my mother and she liked some really boring crap, but even she found it funny. I'm enjoying it right now with 105 pints of crap fizzy lager, a dozen family chocolate cakes and a beef vindaloo all served in the same pig's trough, bloody lovely mate, so thanks alot for this, oh no, time for my medication again, so goodnight everybody.

Pubs closing 3 till 5:30 in the afternoon, oh I remember those days. Many thanks for posting this wonderful recording.
The pubs had to in case we lost the first world war or something

Rediscovered after many years. Priceless.
A cup of phlegm with a tree growing out of it.
I’m sat in Stanley park watching this.
12:19 brilliant commentary on art schools. Definetly the best part of the video in my opinion
This is an absolute gem . Thank you for posting.
You're welcome 👍

He keeps getting better! 'Sandwich Bar' is a smart, daft, eclectic joy.
Tx: 26 August 1983
Thanks for originally recording then looking after it and posting it.
No problem. Glad I was able to find it
Comedy genius. If you don't like alexei sayle, have a word with yourself
No, let those people continue to believe what makes them happy and we are free to enjoy the truth.

Consistently funny and relevant … his latest podcast is worth a listen
The ending suggests this was made in 1983.
You are correct. Thanks. Updated
18:17 Alexei dancing cracks me up everytime, so funny!
Knew this was coming on when they transmitted it, but didn't see. Now it's 2024 - got there in the end.
He was really funny. He made me LOL when I was a kid.
this is gold
11:36 that sketch made me laugh hard

I doubt Mark E Smith would have got on with him, and why on earth would he interview him ?

I lasted 4 minutes. Yet more proof he was never funny. Absolutely brought The Young Ones to an abrupt halt comedy wise every time he appeared.
Never a more accurate statement! Alexi sale was fast forward time
Your opinion is not a fact.
Absolute crap
